Convergent validity analysis in Study 1 (n = 254) correlating standardized factorial scores with Internet frequency and counts of informational and recreational online activities, with significance set at p < .01 given the number of contrasts. The article describes the Operational correlation as "significant, positive and moderate".

"Operational skills exhibit a significant, positive and moderate cor-relation with Internet habitual use; participants who spend more hours online, and use the Internet for more activities would possess more operational skills."
